I am not having a good day, kids. First, my nice long holiday break is over and I've started working in a new location here at the greeting card factory. Gone is my big picture window overlooking the Irish Fest State Street Stage. There are zero windows where I work now. Zero, not even if I stand up and look around for one. Is it raining? Snowing? Has Irish Fest started? Don't ask me, man. Second, this afternoon I have to go the eye doctor to get reading glasses. Which means of course that I'm old and more than likely will be stone dead soon. Third, I woke up this morning with a stomach that appears to be trying for a spot on the Irish Olympic gymnastics team. Fourth, Irish Fest Fest is still 242 long days away. And fifth...well, I can't think of a fifth right at the moment, but I'm sure something will come up. My car's probably being broken into as I type this.
So I need somebody to cheer me up. Go.

Why do you care what the weather is? You are old and you will be wearing a sweater in July. Glasses to read with, next item for your physical assistance will be a walker. Glad to hear you know how many days till Irish Fest, you still have a little time on this earth. If your car is stolen with your insurance money you can buy a grandpa car, perhaps a Ford Taurus four door. Exercise old boyo that will get rid of the deposit of Boulevard Single Wide that is making you a double wide. Now something to cheer you up... you're not as old and feeble as Scanlon.
At least you still have your Christmas burritos?!
Scanlon? Who's Scanlon?
Things to cheer up Dan-
John McCain is NOT our next President
Tight-rolled jeans are said to be making a comeback- squeeeeeeeeeee!
About 51 days until Spring Training starts -- does that help? ..Nah, probably not, still too far away. You have lots of time to start working on those opening day tix for us though!!
Uncle Bloggy, I think you're still sexy, in spite of the grandpa glasses, being almost stone dead, and double wide...
I can't help it, it's those hairy ear lobes...
I am sorry about the lack of windows though. You'll just have to go outside for lunch more often.
Wow. And I was feeling bad BEFORE!
Poor Danny! As someone much wiser than me once said, "This too shall pass."

Dear Dan,
Just think, without a physical window, you are free to imagine anything you want going on on the State Street Stage. How about a supergroup of Eddie Delahunt, Paddy Keenan, Eileen Ivers, Johns Doyle, Redmond, & Spillane, and Mary Black? The reading glasses will probably cut down on headaches, and you can look over them and down your nose at whippersnappers who might question your mature and considered judgement. Just think how much fun and with whom you had it in order to get that case of the tummy flops. And aren't you fortunate to have 242 days to anticipate an event which is Christmas, the Fourth of July and a birthday bash all rolled in to one!
There's an ice storm here, so I've dug out my rose-colored glasses....
Love ya!
Martha
Martha, that was perfect. I feel much better. Thank you, my dear.
How about you didn't fall down Bob & Mike's steps late Sat nite and screw up both knees and get more bruises than Carter has pills and are up at 5am because your knees hurt!
....and yes John McCain is not going to be president!
palin is still cute. colorado
Falling down drunk again? So much for that New Years resolution.
